• Interviewed by Entertainment Tonight, Christina Hendricks says she misses Joan, but the “nice thing is, people are still enjoying the show and watching it. So, daily, people come up and say something nice about the show, so I get to still have those memories.”

• Caity Lotz (Stephanie) tells The New York Times that Mad Men was her first job: “I was pretty green, and I remember Jon Hamm pulling the back of my shirt because I kept leaning forward and messing up the shot.”

• Deadline reports that Mad Men won the ACE Eddie award, for best editing, in the category of hourlong commercial television.

• Christina Hendricks tells People she didn’t think Mad Men would get picked up “because it was on AMC and they had no TV shows and it was a period piece. So I was like, ‘This’ll be a fun pilot to do.'”

• Indiewire enthuses that “the emotional journey of Don Draper is essential viewing for anyone who wants to consider themselves a TV aficionado.”
